Establishing a good partnership with parents is a priority for everyone here at The Hill Primary Academy.
We firmly believe that a successful school is a result of the combined efforts of staff, students and parents and we encourage you to take an active role in your children’s education. We aim to be as transparent and open as possible in all we do and we welcome any questions or suggestions that you might have about your child or about The Hill Primary Academy in general. We will work hard to ensure that we communicate regularly with parents and carers and that you are always up-to-date with our activities and our plans for the future.
Parents’ evenings take place regularly. The Autumn term will focus on target setting and the Spring and Summer term meetings will be reviews of progress. All children, including those in the nursery, will receive an end-of-year written report.
Half-termly newsletters are written by the Principal and sent home via the APP to keep you informed of all of the latest news. The school also uses Twitter and Facebook to celebrate and share the children’s experiences and academic achievements.
The SENDCo organises termly coffee mornings to support the parents of children who are on the SEND register.
At The Hill Academy, we recognise that parents and carers play a vital role in their child’s education and wellbeing. We are committed to building strong, positive relationships based on trust, respect, and open communication. By working in partnership, we can ensure that every child receives consistent support both at home and in school, helping them to achieve their full potential academically, socially, and emotionally. We value the contributions, ideas, and feedback of our families and encourage parents and carers to actively engage with school life whenever possible. One way to support our school community is through our Parent Teacher Association (PTA), which helps organise events, raise funds, and strengthen connections between families and the school. If you would like to become involved in our PTA or find out more about how you can support the school, please contact Mrs Lawrence, who will be happy to discuss the opportunities available in school we also hold regular events for parents to come into school and find out more about their child’s education. These are advertised on our newsletters, Facebook page and DoJo.
